Last year the office remodeled and expanded into the next office space. More chairs in lobby. Offices more spacious. Plenty of magazines to read while you wait. I also appreciate the client newsletter from VJ Accounting that gets sent out in December. Let's you know what can be done (taxable donations etc.) prior to the end of the year. It explains some of the new/ changed tax laws for the coming year. And it goes through the documentation I will need to bring to process my tax return. Will remain a client for many more years!

****Please note that I am writing this review from the perspective of a potential candidate being…read morehired out and not a representative from a company hiring one of Hollstadt's consultants. First let me note, that one of their representatives sought me out and contacted me due to my experience in the field of project management. I talked over the phone and was sent a link to a personality test. I was then invited to come in to discuss my experience in more detail. I spent over an hour there being given their sales pitch on how great it is to work there and how they value integrity. I was asked very few questions on my background, methodology, and tools I used. They were honestly more interested in bragging. Towards the end of the interview, I was told that I would receive emails about positions available and would eventually come in to do a video interview to present to potential clients. All seemed well and positive. Much to my surprise, I received an email the very next day letting me know that I was not going to be considered for any positions due to further research and what she called my "scattered work history." Let me tell you that this is a complete 180 degree turn from my leaving their office and I have to ask myself what the heck happened and why they suddenly did the bait and switch. I thought this was rather unprofessional and took me by complete surprise. Again, they sought me out so perhaps they should have asked more careful questions or took a different approach all together. I would not recommend this firm due to this experience.

In my opinion he does not charge BS fees that can potentially bleed one dry. For a variety of reasons I have never seen his office. However I have spoken with him over the phone and had the pleasure of hosting him in my home (of course such visits might not be applicable or practical for all and I imagine would be done entirely at his discretion). As an added bonus Mr Henderson is a Notary Public. On a number of occasions this status has proven handy, at least to me. At any rate, I was previously unable to find Joe's Law practice on Yelp.

They wanted taxes, penalties, interest. We're still trying to get that reduced. Dan Lodahl made this mess by not giving me that 1099, he should be cleaning it up, not me.

My favorite thing about these guys, is they are always willing to answer your questions, and I ask a lot of them! It's hard to put a price on good advice and great service sometimes, but these guys are very fairly priced.

Read before they find out how to delete this actual/real review. I AM a former client, regardless…read moreof their response. Schwebel Goetz & Sieben (SGS) Be prepared: this process is about money, not justice or principle. Over two years ago, tragedy struck our family. Our 20-year-old son died, and our wrongful death claim involved the bar he visited that night. In our first meeting with our SGS attorney, we stressed that our priority wasn't money--it was justice. He said he understood, would file charges, and would be willing to go to court (bait and switch-read on). Their investigator gathered evidence supporting our claim. Then months of near silence passed. Eventually, our attorney said he would file charges (he never did). First red flag: he addressed me by my deceased son's name, twice. Over the following months, I personally uncovered two more critical pieces of evidence. That I had to do this myself was a major red flag--this was their job. With this new evidence, our attorney requested early mediation--without our approval and before filing charges. Reluctantly, we agreed. Before the mediation, he oddly showed doubt about our claim, then shook my hand and said, "You've done more than my investigators." Mediation failed. The mediator, hand-picked by SGS, was arrogant, dismissive. Our attorney repeated: Next step was to file charges. Again, it didn't happen. Later, the insurance company made another offer based on the mediator's suggestion. We rejected it--too low and we still wanted charges filed. But our attorney insisted we accept, otherwise find a different attorney. He gave no specifics as to why, just vague comments about the evidence, which I suspect he never fully reviewed. Integrity was simply absent, a total 180. We never requested early mediation. We were pushed into accepting a settlement we didn't believe in. Thrice, promised that charges would be filed--they never were. Meanwhile, the bar avoided court, responsibility, and bad publicity. For these reasons, they won, not us. The opposing side had better legal representation than we did. For us, this wasn't about money--it was about preventing this from happening to someone else. But without filing charges, there's no accountability. Maybe we were naïve, but we believed an attorney would fight for our principles. We were wrong. SGS focuses on volume over quality. Profit is #1. An SGS lawyer's success is measured by how efficiently they settle, not by how fiercely they fight for justice. Our attorney knew the opposing counsel, had worked with him before, and likely will again. He described him as a "reasonable guy, a real pro"--translation: a guy who'd settle quickly. There weren't just two sides--there were six: the bar, its insurance company, their attorney, the mediator, our attorney, and us. The closest bond in this party? The two attorneys. This was a business negotiation, not representation. When our lawyer said he'll "do everything he can," what he really meant was "everything he's willing to do"--Make a claim, then settle. We thought the circumstances justified more, but our claim was treated like any typical car accident. Through this process, I asked our attorney many questions, requested clarity, and posed potential scenarios. Early on, he responded vaguely. Later, arrogantly deflected and laughed-off concerns. Over 90% of claims never reach court. The system encourages mediation, and settlements can't set legal precedent. So, nothing changes, and that's the way they want it-profitable. The reality? SGS is only about profit, manipulating facts and people--not seeking justice. In our case, it meant manipulating a grieving family. (They manipulate google reviews too). SGS Attorneys say they'll "fight for you," but the key word is "for"--and it's by their definition. Once you hire an SGS lawyer, you give up control. Your goals become secondary to their financial incentives. Who holds them accountable? No one. Practicing law at SGS means knowing how to avoid it. SGS can't afford compassion, but spend millions on advertising. Justice wasn't served and our son deserved better. B.S. needs to retire.
